First video of seen of these units being installed. Nice job. They look like a very well part. I'm just unsure of their purpose.
@Billy_Ray_Garage 2 күн бұрын
They stiffen up the chassis, body flex is all but eliminated. Good for racing applications, but not daily use. Definitely good jacking point if you do alot of maintenance. Also lowers ground clearance between the wheels. Could be a con if you see big speed bumps

Hi ya Pal. Ive messaged you plenty, as i follow you go help me learn about my own car. Im in New Zealand, and have a HSV VY clubsport manual sedan. Its the four door version of your manaro. Parts are readily available, aspecally here in NZ, and Ozzy. That epuld be my suggestion. Instead of looking for GTO parts, look for, VY/VZ Commodore parts. Your front body shape is off of the VX commodore. But yes, Commodore, Manaro, Clubsport, are the model name's here. Its just knowing what to look for as names have been changed at different country of sale. Ebay has done me wonder's. And forums online. Keep up your great work. Im about to, next couple of months drop both sub frame, for all the bushings and mounts, shocks ect. Mines a 04, woth 240 thou Km's on it. And its still all original. So its well worth a birthday. Engine wise. Hoping at the end of the year/Following new year period to pull the motor, 383 stroke kit rebuild, and clean up the gear box. I do have shift issues when cold, almost like im not getting enough travel. Throw out might need shimming. Basically, if i push pedal to carpet its difficult to select 2nd. If i force pedal against the firewall, no problems. Could also be synchros. Have driving it like that for 12 years now. Its a reliable daily driver for me. And shes basically my child, i love her so much, best car ive ever owned.
@Billy_Ray_Garage 5 күн бұрын
That's pretty much how I found my brake master. Looked outside the US haha. That part is discontinued here. 383s sound nice! That be a fun project. Replacing bushings makes the car much better, even if you replace with rubber would be beneficial. I feel the same about my car, I love it so much! First new car I ever got and will never let it go!

I'm sure there is away of getting a temporary tourists registration for a visiting car. I'm not completely sure, but it's a nice dream to have and to work towards. Need goal's to keep the will moving. LoL 😂👍
